19X8 +24 for front would be perfectly flush with a removing the wheel well liner (the little thin black plastic piece.

19X9.5 +25 will fit fine with a full roll with 275/35/18 or with a tad roll with stretched 245/40/18

Its the wheel and tire fitment guide.

I think thats the part that people overlook when they are getting all worked up over deep lips and flush to fenders, then the wheels come and the work starts and the agony sets in!! Many just revert to more conservative setups, however for those that stick it out and perform it properly its a cool setup.

I guess it depends on what you define as look best. I had 18x8.5F/9.5R +35 all around it was a nice setup wheels were flush and rear fenders were rolled. I'm now running 19x9F/10.5R +26 all around with a mild stretch. I like this setup a whole lot better too aggresive for some but it all depends on your taste.

This is 100% true. It is a hell of a lot of work if you go extreme. The hardest part is setting it up so you never rub. I've considered just going more conservatives many times but I'm going to stick with it.

For me I am tres happy with the 19 X 9.5's, 275/30R19's on the rear with a +35 offset. I had to roll the rear fenders a bit bit it turned out very nicely. The car is lowered with Tanabe's.





The fronts are 19 X 8.5's with 235/35R19 rubber. No fender rolling needed.

i'm pretty sure when you're wanting to put on new wheels

18's in my case with 8" wide

that your options on offset is 35-42

unless you want to roll the fenders, anything less then that without rolling will start to rub from time to time

i ordered my work rims in 19x9 +35 front and 19x10 +30 rear but they were suggesting i go with +56 or something and were pushing for it. had to put my foot down but they won't guarantee fitment.

i want to add as well that unless you are willing to dish out a lot of money to do it "the right way"

putting extremely low offsets on your car even after rolling or removing fenders puts a whole lot of liability on your car if you're not extensivly modding it.

you're gonna have to be changing out bearings and all kinds of other parts once a year because you are putting so much strain on your car because the balance is out of place having them be so far out from the car.

Take a look at any rice burner out there with very low offsets with no money put into it, the tires seem to "lean in" on top, it'll wear down the car



i'm not discouraging, low offsets, bc in fact they look sick as hell... especially with a staggered setup, BUT... be prepared to pay some big cash bc it can get far from pratical

Lets not forget the different disk types! They make a huge difference.
